Ordered a trigger parts kit to fit to my Tisas. I wasn't a fan of the hammer or trigger face so decided it was a good opportunity to learn something new. These parts + an Ed brown solid trigger.

What am I in for? Any tips?

I have previously installed and fit a new mainspring housing, and polished a feed ramp on a Kimber TLE II that I ended up selling.

MacArthur is the fucking cocksucking retard that got all those men killed, just like in the Batan Death March. He should have been court martialed for incompetence.

Intelligence reports on the ground KNEW of an impeding Chinese attack. They have already captured Chinese soldiers prior to the attacks. North Korean civilians were telling US soldiers and marines that there were Chinese soldiers in NK.

Even the compact has minimal recoil.

Now in a gun that's been designed for a chunk port, that locking area is extended to where the port isn't (picture related). Is that the case with the DWX? I don't know, I've not looked at the inside of the slide. But the barrel locking surface has definitely not been extended to mate with it if it were

Anyone do bullseye shooting? I want an air pistol but I am unsure of what is a decent one to get. I know the gucci olympic ones would be good, but I don't know if I wanna drop like $2k+ on one just starting out, plus I am left handed and I am gonna have to get new grips made which is further gonna drive the price up. I was trying to find one on the second hand market but they seem fairly rare as well.

Confident in being able to follow all safety rules and can group out to 25 yards. If your 25 yard target does not have any sort of grouping, or you’re unable to hit a B8C target at 25 - choose which event you go to wisely as some matches have targets beyond 25 yards while others 15 is the max.

The purpose of matches and competitions is to get better, you’ll quickly see things you need to improve on as long as you’re not still working on the basics. There are a few organizations that are geared towards more casual and practical shooting versus it as an actual sport.
>>
>>65451888
realistically you should just be familiar enough with guns to:
>not break the 180 while moving
>not break the 180 while reloading
>be able to safely load and holster
>be able to safely unload and show clear
>put rounds somewhere on an IPSC target at 10 yards
>follow the four rules of gun safety at all times
that's like the bare minimum. The biggest thing that will fuck your day up is getting DQ'ed for an ND or a 180 violation so just pick a direction in your house and spend an entire day pointing a finger gun in that direction whenever you do anything.
Nobody at most matches gives a shit if you make zero hits and par out every stage, the only thing that will actually bother people is safety violations.
>>
>>65451888
>>65451902
i should mention that unless otherwise stated somewhere on a website or in practiscore, assume it's a cold range match and show up with a cased/bagged firearm and separate boxed/cased/bagged ammo. Some matches/match directors are insanely anal about "only handle your empty firearm while uncasing at the designated safe table next to the start position surrounded by a berm" and others are cool and will let you show up holstered and just load during load and make ready.

competitions legitimately give you a reason to train other than "I may at some time in the future have a small change that i'll need to shoot a crackhead" which is never a good motivator
a fat 50yo dude cleaning your ass up by like 20 seconds despite him wheezing through a stage will definitely give you motivation to train
if you can move safely with a gun and follow directions you should absolutely go to a match, it doesn't have to be some goofy men in lycra with fishing vests match either, there are outlaw/fun matches all over practiscore

>That 180 shit is gay as fuck
having been an RO and getting flagged more than once, one time with a 1301 loaded with flitecontrol, not really in most cases. at most of my matches, if you break the 180, you've earned your dunce hat for the day. On a 360 bay? nah, stupid, but not a lot of ranges have a 360 bay or a shoothouse
>it's one of the reasons USPSA is so hated.
a lot of the complaints there have to do with stage design where they have a target at 175 of the 180 degrees just as bait for a reload or something
it's not fun stage design and really should be stopped because it alienates a lot of people and isn't really safe in and of itself

I think it's less that revolvers are coming back, and more that people are burned out on minmaxxed larperating and coming back around on the idea of shooting purely as a skill to develop for skills sake and recreational shooting as a valid and pleasurable passtime as opposed to everything being in service of some imaginary life or death scenario.

Which in turn, brings the niche served by revolvers in 2026 back into focus. A good full size revolver in 38/358 is a joy to shoot.

they are a niche gun for a specific purpose. the final last ditch backup to your backup. the size and weight means it costs nothing to carry so whats wrong with that? plus they can be used as a secondary on rural land for pest control when you dont want to use your defensive carry gun. i think they do what they are designed for very well. nobody is arguing it should be your go to war gun

I’ve done USPSA, GPA, local 2-gun, 3-gun, FAST, steel challenge, and brutality
By far the most fun are the 2G action, steel challenge, and FAST/brutality style matches, but that’s because I like larping and actually using all of my gear other than just a gunbelt

Any recommendations for an IWB holster for a 3" model though?
>>
>>65452055
There are advantages to them.
They are less likely to jam/malfunction.
When they do jam/malfunction, it's worse. It typically puts the gun out of operation until you can see a gunsmith. With a semi-auto, you typically just tap, rack, bang. But they are less likely to jam/malfunction.
You can press them up against an attacker, fire, then do it again without worrying about a slide. Many self-defense encounters are at extreme short range. This also applies to defending yourself from a dog biting you.
A shrouded double action only revolver is excessively simple, and safe. Just draw, point and shoot. No safety to worry about. The double action trigger is the safety. No hammer to get stuck on something while drawing. This is the simplest concealed carry pistol to draw and fire, and, when you're in a high-stress, life-and-death situation, simple is good.
The primary drawback is the capacity. However, data shows that almost all self-defense scenarios are ended by 2-3 shots.
They're simple, reliable and carry enough rounds for almost all encounters.
For the most part, the revolver/semi auto battle comes down to if you prioritize simplicity/reliability or capacity. There's a good argument for prioritizing the former when 2-3 shots ends almost all scenarios.
>>
>>65452219
I think an undiscussed problem with revolvers is the modern ones have awful QC and the stock of old (good) ones are rapidly disappearing.
>>
>>65452226
They're mechanically complex. Semi-autos are certainly more suited for mass production.
QC issues can obviously be mitigated, though, by choosing known reliable options and having gunsmithing skills or knowing a skilled gunsmith.
>>
>>65452230
>known reliable options
Revolver writers, blogs, YouTubers etc have been talking about poor QC at Smith, Ruger and Olt for years. Considering the price of .38 to 9mm, it makes sense why the only people that shoot them are experienced gun owners and old guys (like me). I love wheelguns but I would never recommend them over other options.
>>

>FAST/brutality style matches
I wish there were more of these, it took me forever to find even a 2Gun match within a few hours of me, the brutalities are all across the country.

Unfortunately unless you can find a gun club, it’s really difficult to set up that kind of match.

That was Karl's agenda but he burned his final business partner, Russel Phagan (went on to found FAST after their split) and now Karl doesn't even have a seat at the board of his local gun club. He claims Brutality Matches are all his intellectual property but none of the people that run them associate with Karl. The actual shooting scene for leftists is whatever the John Brown Gun Club, Redneck Revolt or neo Black Panthers get up to which is usually basic introduction to firearms or shooting at trash during a LARP meetup.

James Reeves of TFB TV is the only bridge Karl has left but I'm sure he'll manage to fuck that up like every other.

That's for his full retard package, which I honestly find pretty ugly, but he's fitting a mew barrel and doing the porting and all that. The $650 action job and the recrown/throat polish are the important parts. Getting the Ruger text removed, dehorned, and bead blasted is purely cosmetic. I don't believe it needs new sights, and it doesn't need PVD.

This is what he quoted me in 2024. I had just bought the gun and 2k rounds of 357 so I didn't want to ship it off for 4+ months without having shot it much.


>Time to complete as follows would be average of 16 weeks from receipt into my shop. If PVD plating is added, allow an additional 4 weeks.

>1. Remove warning or Ruger text, $200.00 per side

>2. Remove barrel, crown muzzle at 11 x 60 and polish throat @ 5 degrees, reinstall barrel at TDC 12:00, $350.00

>3. Ultimate grade action tuning, $650.00, includes, everything. you will love this action.

>4. Because we would be removing the barrel for crown and throat, I would suggest dehorning the frame to barrel juncture at a minimum, $200.00

>5. Regarding the finish, PVD plating is a great finish and durable. It will run $750.00 on this weapon for one colortone. Raw glass bead blasted surface is a good uniform finish and is cost effective at $150.00. But raw SS is scratched easily, Glass bead blasted SS will show signs of wear over time with use, but it depends upon how rough a life it has. High polished finishes are terrible and will scratch with a soft rag, I do not recommend a high polished finish.

>6. Finally, you did not address sight upgrades, but they are very important. If you do not already have the BCA RCSS rear sight you really need to get that installed at $149.95 and one of our custom machined steel Red or green fiber optic front sights @ $129.95 for this gun.

I will admit…I am tempted to buy another to keep as an heirloom while I use this one as my camping/anti bear gun from now until the end of time. The cz grip profile, the 1911 trigger, the weight, fills me with extreme confidence. I won’t call it perfection, but its perfect for me.

Both ANR and Insane Kydex Creations make one. IKC actually offers the PX4 compact with over 60 different light attachments varieties.

I have an ANR for my arex zero and an IKC for my FN. I've carried my FN 509c with tlr-1 in my IKC for about 4 years, but I'd reccomend the ANR due to IKC's insane lead times and ~30% higher prices. Both make great holsters so check out both options and see if one or the other is more your liking but that extra month of lead time IKC has is rough.

Unfortunately I haven't seen anyone in these threads with one. If you care to wait awhile I'll go into work an hour early today for more overime and use that pay to order a gold dot ARO to report back. I have a pretty nasty astigmatism even with corrective lenses so if that's part of the draw for you my eyes could be a good analog. Without corrective lenses at night stop lights streak well below the street they sit above and bloom like crazy for me.

I'll report back in 2 weeks with side by sides between the regular ARO, the gold dot ARO, and my holosun 507k to see if theres a glass quality, tint, or astigmatism benefit. Watch these threads if you care I guess
>>
>>65453512
I might buy the eps soon, I have the eps carry, but the eps has a bigger window. I was eyeing the AEMS pro one, maybe I'll get the ARO one day, but I want a pistol dot to carry - the in-and-out shooting has changed my opinions on rds for carry pistols. I get some smearing/distortion with the 6 moa red dot. I think the 2 moa dot won't be as bad, but i'm not sure. I'm interested in the gold just because its different and could help. I'm bit worried tho, if I get a 2 moa gold dot, I might not be able to acquire the dot if I really need it. I would have to force myself to train if I went that route. The 6 moa gold dot might be that goldilocks sight that is decent enough for ccw and is clear enough to make relatively distant shots if needed.

Well.. I recently discovered that I actually really like Glocks. Funny because I’ve anlways thought they were overrated, then I got a Glock 17 Gen 2 and thought “huh.. that’s pretty nice.”

>I have a pretty nasty astigmatism even with corrective lenses so if that's part of the draw for you my eyes could be a good analog.
No, they couldn't be. It never ceases to amaze me how little people bother researching their own medical conditions. Astigmatisms are like fingerprints. No other astigmatism on earth is like yours. A dot looking good to you means absolutely NOTHING to the guy standing next to you with an astigmatism. If you have an astigmatism, you need to go look at any dot you're considering in person. You can't ask someone else with an astigmatism how the dot looks for them.

I get that everyones ligma is a different flavor but sweet is sweet sour is sour and astigmatism is astigmatism. Corrective lenses work for astigmatism because there are certain things that mitigate it. Green dots being better than red dots for astigmatism and lower brightness being better than higher brightness are some things that seem to be universal. I see no reason the gold dot couldn't likewise be a breakthrough technology for bad eye boys like me.

>Green dots being better than red dots for astigmatism and lower brightness being better than higher brightness are some things that seem to be universal.
No. There is no universal. I have a green dot, and it looks like shit compared to my red dots. There is literally no universal here, which is why you can't give anyone else red dot ligma advice.

Red dots on pistols aren't worth the significant investment of money as well as training time necessary for quick, reliable dot acquisition because they provide absolutely zero benefit within 10 yards where almost all self-defense encounters occur.

Well yeah, with the exception of some 45 ACP and 40 s&w, basically all law enforcement uses 9mm. Plus military, and like 90% of gun owners probably have at least one 9mm.

I won't, but I'll tell you what it's like.

Fewer gun choices, but that's only a problem if you don't really like the 10mm options. There are plenty of good ones. If you go 1911 - well, that can be hit or miss but everyone seems to be getting better at it.

Ammo is not hard to find, but it's not as readily available as 9mm. Especially locally. Expect to buy online. I only shoot magtech as everything else is either loaded too weak, or is too expensive.

It will always, always be more expensive than 9mm. You will probably shoot less volume, not because of cost, but because you will fatique faster and generally shoot slower with 10mm. With the extra recoil, you'll spend longer getting back on target so your split times will be slower. You'll fatigue faster. Mags are lower capacity so you'll have more downtime loading. None of which is really an issue - I shoot probably half as many rounds when I take my 10mm vs my 9mm and feel equally satisfied at the end of a range session. So it ends up maybe even being slightly less expensive of a range session on average.

For me, it's something like this.
200rds of 9mm
100rds of 10mm
60rds of 357

I appreciate the insight anon. Well it’s kind of a shame how little ammo I actually keep on hand, but typically when I shoot on my property, I’ll take like 5 or 6 rounds and a milk jug of water. I just kinda do it for fun, and with so few rounds on me I slow way down.
One of these days I’d like to start carrying again. 9mm has a big appeal to me because of the sheer availability and widespread use. Like hypothetically speaking if the world ever were to go to crap, you better bet I’ll have my Glock 17 on me. 10 mm may just be a fleeting fantasy for me, but I do wonder for HD it’d be better than 9. But then again if I needed something for HD, I’d probably just use the 20” AR.

They are only stopping the full steel guns. The PCR, P-10, and SP-01 will continue production. They are getting a shit ton of backlash online for it, mainly people blaming colt which is funny to me.

I do recommend the factory hard rubber grips, very comfy.

SP-01 shadow is full steel, unless you're talking of their concept gun the SP-01 phantom which is using a polymer frame

Subjective. In my opinion, yes. Open carry obviously no.
>>
>>65454641
I dont think the Phantom has been in production in like 10+ years, but you right. I always forget the SP-01 is full steel. Mainly because I have tiny girly hands and really only like compacts.
Im sure some other turbo autist will pop in and say one of the comp line guns is also full steel.
The crux of all this is that only the 75b, the 75bd, and the 75 compact are going away, they are not ditching their metal guns all together.

same anon but yeah, the Phantom is only a concept gun, it was made in low numbers and that's it.
the Shadow 2 is all full steel handgun and most tanfoglio are also full steel, oh also there's SVI infinity if you really want a race gun that is full steel.

so yeah, there's still a choice, we're far from full on polymer only handguns (except for the tactiLARP market)

Unfortunately, that's most of the higher end handgun market. You can buy a 1911, CZ, or Beretta for $600, or you can spend $3000 for a souped up 1911, CZ, or Beretta. Want to get a fancy European revolver like a Spohr? Well it's just a hand-polished S&W action on the inside with an adjustable coil spring instead of a leaf spring, $3000 please. We obviously have exclusive designs like the Alien and FK BRNO at a high price point, but most of that market is made up of regular old duty guns with custom parts and fine tuning.

Honestly, I’d probably be better off carrying my revolver. I wish I could either cut down my S&W 1905 to 4” or either pick up a cheap model 10.
Dude I gotta be a little autistic here for a sec, but I’d love to have a SAA that’s like 2/3 the size of a standard one. Until then, I guess I can be a double action cowboy or noir detective.
Redpill me on wadcutters.

Hi, guys. I just wanted to pop in and share my opinion on which cartridges look cool. The ones that come in a bunch of colors look the coolest. eg. shotgun shells, 9x39, 20mm, etc. This is incredibly important btw.

Not him.
No .38 special hollowpoint has been shown by testing to both:
>reliably expand out of a snub nose revolver (because the velocity out of a snub nose tends to be insufficient)
>reliably penetrate 12-18 inches as per FBI standard
148 grain lead wadcutter target loads reliably penetrate 12-18 inches as per FBI standard and expansion is not an issue because they are not designed to expand.
They are the best snubnose .38 special revolver defense round.

I carry mine sometimes, but I have big hands. Also, don't get a 10mm. Where will you get real 10mm loads?
>>
>>65454840
The ruger wrangler is like a little SAA. It's only in .22 though.
>>
>>65454864
>>65454840
Also, the wadcutters are low-recoil as shit, even out of an LCR or Airweight, and very accurate. You'll enjoy training with them.
>>
>>65454840
The other guy (him). To add on to the other anonsz wadcutters have been known to be pretty effective for a while. You can find old forum and blog posts of shooters testing out wadcutters compared to hollowpoints in snubbies, and even then those posters talk about older shooters who swore that out of small barrels wadcutters were pretty mean compared to their competition.

From a more technical side, the flat face of a wadcutter punches holes more cleanly through paper than ball ammo, which made them popular for target shooting. That same construction helps its terminal ballistics, since it doesn't have to expand and presents a more devastating profile against meat targets. The old comparison is that a boat going forward disrupts water less than a boat going reverse, because of the curved bow splitting the water and the flat aft not.
>>
>>65453547
Almost every reason why people say .40 bad vs 9mm also applies to 10mm.

>less capacity
>more recoil
>more expensive
>not significantly more power to make a difference (vs humans)

10mm's niche is being adequate for bears with the right ammo while having more capacity than a revolver. Are you Alaskan or live near the North Pole?

>>65454864
What about .38 Special out of a 3" barrel? Sometimes I carry .38 +P in my GP100 for easier follow up shots
>>
>>65454893
Haven't seen 3" barrel testing data but you can look for it.
The data I've seen is with 2" barrels and 4" barrels.
>>
>>65454893
>>65454894
Going by this data, I want to say that the Federal 130 gr HST Micro will PROBABLY reliably expand and penetrate between 12-18 inches out of a 3" barrel.
The Winchester 130 gr Ranger Bonded +P PROBABLY will too.
https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/revolver-ballistics-test/#38spl
The wadcutters wouldn't be a bad choice out of the 3" barrel either, though. That extra inch will not make them overpenetrate and they're still going to be low recoil and accurate as shit.
>>
>>65454892
Full power 10mm is like 1.5x the muzzle energy of normal .40sw so it’s not the same argument
If you, as the shooter, can control 10mm, it’s terminal ballistics are better than 9mm in most scenarios
>>
>>65454900
https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=111

Is this a good choice?
>>
>>65454926
I can't guarantee that won't overpenetrate. Those are loaded hotter than typical target loads. Typical target loads are what reliably penetrate between 12-18 inches.

The only guy I've seen with on was in the ak general like 3-4 years ago. He said it was pretty good but not worth the $1300 he paid for it (iirc it was $1200 plus tax ect at the time). If you buy one post it here several other anons been eyeing em but nobodies pulled the trigger on it yet.
>>
>>65454920
It is the same argument, because that increase in muzzle energy is not very relevant when you're discussing the effects of a pistol caliber on a human target (like that anon was). At the end of the day, you're still just poking 10mm wide holes. That energy matters more so when talking about something like bear defense, where that energy translates into greater depths of penetration.
>>
>>65454992
Either this is a false memory, the guy didnt mention the vis 100 by the name "vis 100" in his post so I can't find it, or it was a post in one of the many FB gun groups I used to frequent at the time. I trolled through the archives trying to find it and its just hundreds of post of "has anyone bought a vis 100? I want to buy one but don't want to spend that much if it's bad"

Here is the only post i could find which is from the akg so maybe it was in there just never mentioned the vis 100 by name.

I can shoot pretty damn accurate with a S&W, up to at least 50yds (been years). Surprisingly accurate with a little 21A. 200yd plates (bench) with a Ruger Standard/Mk series. My 92FS? LOL.

I don’t understand why no one makes a SAA in 38 special in a slightly smaller frame equivalent to a k frame. Literally every 38 SAA that I’ve found is just on a 45 LC frame and cylinder with less material taken out which just makes it heavier. Granted they’re usually 357 mags- I mean that kinda makes more sense, but still. I just want a 38 SAA that’s not a boat anchor.
